Ingredients
1
packet (1 oz) Old El Paso™ Original Taco Seasoning Mix
6
large chicken drumsticks
1
large Beefsteak tomato
1
small Vidalia onion
3
garlic cloves
2
cups long grain uncooked rice
1
can (7 oz) Old El Paso™ Chopped Green Chiles
1/2
cup frozen corn
1/2
cup frozen peas
2
cups of water
Cilantro, chopped (optional)
Lime, wedges (optional)
Salt to taste
Preparation
Season chicken drumsticks with 1/2 packet of taco seasoning mix.
Sear chicken drumsticks on a medium high heat skillet with just a touch of oil. Once chicken is brown all around, set chicken aside.
On a food processor or blender, blend tomato, onion, and garlic. Add this into a large skillet, over medium high heat and let it cook for a minute or two.
Keep adding the rest of the ingredients to the pan: rice, chiles, corn, peas, and the remainder taco seasoning mix. Stir well and cook for a minute or two. Adjust salt level to taste.
Add water and bring to a boil.
Place chicken on top of the rice.
Cover well, and cook on low for 20-25 minutes until rice has absorbed all of the liquid.
Serve with a generous sprinkle of chopped cilantro and a good squeeze of lime.
